Star Wars: The Bad Batch (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 2 - Ruins of War - full transcript
We are descending at a rate
of speed that is most concerning.
Don't worry! The reentry
thrusters should engage soon!
If they don't,
we're all dead!
Told you.
Other than not being able
to steer or control where we land,
I would say this is going well.
The regs have all the entry
points to the castle surrounded.
Not all of them.
Our way out is down.
I knew you
were gonna say that.
We use the city ruins for
cover and trek back to the Marauder.
Tech, did you reach
the escape pods yet?
Not exactly.
We are using an alternate
mode of transport.
My calculations have us crashing towards
the upper forest region of the planet.
Crashing?
That was smoother than some of
Wrecker's attempted landings.
Tech. Report.
We are alive. But where we
are, I am not fully certain.
The Empire's gonna come looking
for their containers, and for us.
Get out of
sight and lay low.
Once we get to the Marauder,
we'll come for you.
Roger that.
Uh, what's happening?
We haven't
fully landed yet.
Go! Go! Go!
Tech!
Are you okay?
My left femur has been fractured by
approximately 150 kilograms of pressure…
…so… no.
Hang tight. I'll go up
top and scope things out.
Oh, great.
What do
you see out there?
We still haven't landed.
Sitrep.
The containers have scattered
throughout the upper forest region.
Squads have been dispatched,
but it's unlikely the thieves
who infiltrated the cargo
ship survived the crash.
I want confirmation.
Captain Wilco.
The two from the castle
must be in the city.
Redirect our topside forces.
Monitor all comm channels
and bring a shuttle.
Yes, sir.
Well, this mission
has been eventful.
We have to
get out of sight.
Wait. We can't leave
without the war chest.
We don't have time.
We need to get away from
here and find cover.
Get down.
They're
setting up a perimeter.
Like that'll
stop us.
They know
our forces are split.
They'll monitor comm channels.
Havoc-2. The
fourth sun is setting.
Plan Double Zero.
Copy that.
Plan Double Zero?
It means
"go radio silent."
Comm channels are
being monitored.
We're being followed.
- Don't move.
- I'm not.
Who are you? What
are you doing here?
I live here. The name's Romar.
He could be
working for the Empire.
Me?
Aren't you working
for the Empire?
We do not
have time to debate this.
Where's the nearest
place to take shelter?
Well, it's a little hard to think
with her pointing that thing at me.
Much appreciated, but sorry to say
there's no shelter around these parts.
I'm registering a heat source
200 meters west of here.
I suspect it is your domicile.
- How did you do...
- Take us there.
Looks like I don't have
much say in the matter.
Captain, we have eyes on half
of the ejected containers.
No sign of the thieves, but we did
intercept a coded transmission.
Then the ones in the
cargo survived the crash.
Divide the search
and recovery squads.
Fifty containers were released.
I want eyes on all 50.
Copy that.
Sir, we have the city
perimeter secured.
Commence the radial sweep.
We'll box in these rogues.
We're gonna need to
break through their ranks.
How many explosives do you have?
Nothing that'll do any damage.
Just a couple of smoke bombs.
Ten o'clock.
Oh. Old Separatist tanks.
Now you're talking.
So, what
you're telling me is
that you're rogue clones running
from the Empire's clones,
who used to be the
Republic's clones?
Correct. You
finally got it right.
Why is your house in
the middle of nowhere?
Didn't really have a choice once the
Empire showed up, but we make do.
"We"?
The other survivors who
fled the destruction.
Now that Tech is safe,
let's head back to the container and
get as much of the war chest as we can.
No, it's too dangerous.
Troopers could already
be at the crash site.
But we can't leave empty-handed.
We have to complete the mission.
Mm-hmm. Guess you're more like
those other clones than you think.
I'd stay away from that cursed
war chest if I were you.
But we need it.
And it's not cursed,
it was stolen.
You think Dooku funded his war effort
by only stealing from outside worlds?
No.
He took from us, his own people.
His quest for power is why our
city is now buried in rubble.
Well, we'll help
you get it back.
There's enough in that
container for all of us.
I want none of it.
Let the Empire take it. The
sooner they're gone, the better.
And the same goes for you.
No offense.
Now, if you'll excuse
me, some of us have work to do.
It's not too late.
We can still scout the
site to see if it's clear.
Negative. Your mission is to
keep an eye on the old man.
Roger.
Thanks for the ride.
No good.
How about yours?
This one's down too.
I have a visual on the targets.
You just gonna stand there?
- Oh.
- I'm keeping an eye on you.
Ah. Not much fun, is it?
Uh, here. Try that.
What is it?
Look inside.
There are
jewels in here?
No. No, it's only
reflected glass.
It's an optical illusion.
Then it's not treasure?
Oh, for blast's sakes.
It's a toy. It makes you happy.
And believe me, that is
worth more than any jewel.
The war chest wasn't
ours in the first place.
Well, we would have
made better use of it.
I am simply stating that
without the funds from the war chest,
we are no worse off
than we were before.
That's not how I see it.
The Empire's growing stronger, and
we're still doing nothing about it.
Where are you going?
To check for patrols.
I'll be back.
Hey, Ace.
Think you can lend me that
spanner on your belt for a minute?
What are you doing with
a model 2 data core?
This here contains a fragment
of my people's history.
Our culture. Art.
Music. Memories.
A Separatist archive.
Fascinating.
Not Separatist. Serennian.
We did exist before
the war, you know.
I… never thought
of it like that.
Now, if I can only get
this thing working.
Oh, I can handle that.
There!
That one!
Forget it, Wrecker. That
tank's not going anywhere.
Don't need it to.
Grab the battery pack.
For what?
Leave it to me.
- Air support's on approach.
- Send them in.
Come to…
Wrecker!
Oh, yeah!
Pick up the pace.
And we're in business!
Boom! I make a pretty good tank!
Incoming!
Fire in the hole.
You sure you know
what you're doing?
There.
Your data has been restored.
You did it. You...
You... You actually did it.
Well, of course I did.
Where's Omega?
She was just here.
Well, she's not now.
Hmm.
My rappelling cable's gone.
I suspect she went
after the war chest.
We have to find her
before the Empire does.
Go. I will catch up.
You won't get very far in your condition.
I can manage.
The Marauder
is just over that ridge.
You said that
about the last one.
This time I mean it.
Look out!
I'm scanning another
container dead ahead.
Stay alert.
Omega!
Echo!
Look! I packed it full
of the shiny stuff!
Did you not hear
the blaster fire?
There are troopers out
there. We have to go.
We've located the thieves
and have one pinned.
Requesting backup.
Copy that. A
gunship is inbound. Hold your position.
Look out!
Captain Wilco, the intruders are
retreating to the eastern ridge.
Reroute air support.
Yes, sir.
This old bird
never looked so good.
We're in position.
Tech, send
your coordinates.
Transmitting.
Coordinates received.
We're heading your way.
We got company.
Get these guys off our tail.
Hold your fire.
CT-3278! Report!
You're almost there.
No!
Hurry. This whole
ledge is gonna go.
I can get it back.
- I have to.
- Don't.
Omega, forget about
the war chest.
It's not important.
Yes, it is.
I heard what you said to
Hunter on the Marauder.
You don't have a normal
life because of me.
Omega, listen to me.
Please.
You have to let it go.
Come on!
Jump.
Ace?
Ace, wake up.
What are
you doing here?
I heard blaster fire.
Thought you might
need some help.
And I was right.
Omega! Echo!
Hold on!
I will handle the ship.
I'll grab the cable.
Locking onto the targets.
Grab the line!
All right. Come on.
That would be our ride.
Hey, kid.
Keep it.
And remember what I said.
Get going. More
will be on the way.
What about you?
I'm a survivor. Remember?
I'm sorry we
lost the war chest.
We'll manage without it.
I wanted to make
things better for us.
I know you all gave up
everything because of me.
Good thing we did, or we might be
fighting for the Empire right now.
Or worse.
We made the right choice, Omega.
I'd do it all again.
As of now, we've recovered
85% of the war chest,
but I'll chase that
number to perfection, sir.
Your failure to ensure the transfer
of this cargo is not why I am here.
I've come to address some
inaccuracies in your mission report.
What inaccuracies?
You stated the would-be thieves you
encountered were the rogue clones
from experimental unit 99,
yet that is impossible.
Their squad perished during
the fall of Tipoca City.
Your intel was incorrect, sir.
I had visual confirmation
on two of them.
They're alive.
I see.
If Governor Tarkin were to learn of
my misstep, then I would be at risk.
And that cannot happen.
Which is why a new
report will be submitted.
One void of any mention
of Clone Force 99.
Sir, I will not falsify
an official report.
I understand.
I will.
of speed that is most concerning.
Don't worry! The reentry
thrusters should engage soon!
If they don't,
we're all dead!
